Water had 3-4 foot visibility and was about 54 degrees. Caught fish on a variety of baits but a Frittside and a Outkast swimjig got the better bites. Fished 6-8’ of water around laydowns.

Caught all my fish off wood. Water was somewhat cloudy and that’s where I got most of my bites opposed to the clean water. I was pitching a homemade 1/2 ounce jig similar to the Matt Herrera flipping jig in a blue craw color and a Bojangles Z-Daddy trailer in blue craw. I’ve been using the new Mastiff flourocarbon from Shimano now for a few weeks and this trip I really put it through its paces. I was fishing in and around some fairly heavy laydowns. I did not notice any nicks or abrasions and only had to retire once out of habit. Normally in this situation I would be using at least 20 pound test. I however did not feel under powered with the 18 Mastiff.

With the warm weather the last week C the water temps have jumped in to the low 70’s. I’ve seen tons of bass cruising with lots of bluegills up shallow as well. We worked the first emergent vegetation that we could find near a spawning flat and caught quite a few nice bass.
